Re: Instant Messaging Question????

technically we're not supposed to, but apparently i got billed last month and so did some others. i forgot the other thread, but there were a couple people with data charges using the built in IM program. hopefully you don't get billed so we can see whether att fixed it or not, but in case u do, u should try out the server fix a few posts up. goodluck with that.

Re: Instant Messaging Question????

I tried your little trick and I saw no data charges in my online account for that day. Very cool. Though what bothers me is that other propel users will think it's normal to be billed for data and will just accept it, like I've seen on yahoo answers when I was googling this problem. Sneaky, sneaky.

Re: Instant Messaging Question????

no problem. just wanted to help any other propel/att user who r getting billed because of att's stupid mistake. it is kinda fishy they're selling phones that r improperly set, but good thing there's the internet.

Re: Instant Messaging Question????

update: success, the bill just came in, and no data charges. so i suggest anyone that is getting billed to change their settings.

and about the z9, i haven't owned a moto for a long time so i have no idea how to change the settings. i remember that in order to change things on a moto, there was some editing on the phone internals, but i forgot how to do that. if u want to know more about hacking a moto, try googling seem editing. goodluck.

Re: Instant Messaging Question????

Okay, I found how to see and check for the addresses, but the question I have now is that I have the cingular address along as well as the AIM, YIM, and MSN. The only thing missing (there's no 2) from the IM addresses is the Port number. Basically, I see "http://aol.cwmim.com" for AIM, "http://yahoo.cwmim.com" for Yahoo, and "http://msn.cwmim.com", so I'm going to have to go on the notion that the port number is vital as well.

Not sure right now. I have the set-up saved on my computer at the place where I stay at... I'm at work at the current moment. As soon as I get back there I'll post the list so you would also be able to see the view... I'll only post the AIM one though, since the sets were all the same (except the parts that read AIM, yahoo, or msn).
